Another common desalination process is Reverse Osmosis. It involves a solvent passing through a semi-permeable membrane; meaning this particular membrane only allows some molecules to penetrate or pass through. The solvent will then go into a solution with higher concentration of molecules.
In February, Yorktown introduced the Electric Green Tetra, a genetically modified black tetra fish. Like its zebra fish cousin, the GM tetra is a small freshwater fish that includes genetic material from a fluorescent coral that makes it neon-bright. Under a black light, it glows in the dark.ince Yorktown Technologies first sold its genetically modified pet â the GloFish â in 2003, the fluorescent fish, an altered variety of zebra fish, has become a popular aquarium item, with millions sold in various neon hues.
The U.S. government may be about to approve genetically modified (GM) salmon from the company AquaBounty. If the salmon is allowed, it will become the first genetically modified animal heading for our dinner plates. The salmon is genetically engineered to grow faster, and the company therefore argues that the fish will help to feed a hungry world. Here once again we have the GM industry proclaiming it is going to save the World. This time with a luxury product, salmon, of all things.
